Pokémon Scarlet and Violet 1.3.0 Patch Notes

Here is a 1.3.0 Patch Notes of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet:-

Feature Adjustments

A change has been made to the deadline for entries for Friendly Competitions, which are found in the Online Competitions section of the Battle Stadium.

  • Before this change: Entries were allowed until the Friendly Competition began.
  • After this change: Entries will be allowed until the Friendly Competition ends.

Bug Fixes

Link Battles

  • Fixed a bug in Link Battles where selecting Swap in just before the selection timer reached zero could fail to switch in the selected Pokémon and subsequently cause switching — and the battle itself — to act abnormally.
  • Fixed a bug in Link Battles where once the remaining time for the battle was under one minute, it would no longer be displayed where it was supposed to.
  • Fixed a bug that occurred in Link Battles where, depending on the move being used at the time a Pokémon fainted, the amount of time a Trainer received to select their next Pokémon was reduced.

Battles

  • Fixed a bug where the Cud Chew Ability would trigger again once every two turns after it triggered the first time, contrary to what is written in the Ability description.
  • Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark Terastallized while using its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon. On the Check Status screen, the Terastallized Zoroark’s type would display as the original type of the Pokémon it had disguised itself as, rather than Zoroark’s Tera Type.
  • Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark used its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon that had already Terastallized. This bug caused Zoroark’s type on the Check Status screen to incorrectly display as the Tera Type of the Pokémon Zoroark had disguised itself as.
  • Fixed a bug in Double Battles with moves that cause stat changes for the Pokémon using the moves. This bug caused the stat changes to incorrectly happen twice if the user hit two opposing Pokémon with the move while an opposing Pokémon was behind a Substitute.

Pokémon GO Connectivity

  • Fixed the main issue causing the game to crash on the screen used to pair with a Pokémon GO account.

Other

  • Fixed a bug affecting Trainers who received Hisuian Zoroark from the Mystery Gift screen as a special early-purchase bonus for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet without first having seen Zoroark in their game. This bug caused Zoroark to be incorrectly displayed as registered in these Trainers’ Pokédexes.
  • Other select bug fixes have been implemented.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for the Nintendo Switch, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet are role-playing video games that mark the beginning of the ninth generation of the Pokémon series. The games were first revealed in February 2022 and were released on November 18, 2022.

In contrast to previous titles in the series, Scarlet and Violet take place in an open world and are set in the Paldea region, which is inspired by the Iberian Peninsula. Players can choose to follow one of three separate storylines. The games also introduce 110 new Pokémon, two new regional forms, and the concept of Paradox Pokémon, which are creatures displaced in time. Additionally, the Terastal phenomenon allows Pokémon to transform into a new "Tera Type". The games retain features from previous modern Pokémon games, including large open areas and Pokémon appearing in the overworld.

Critics had mixed reactions to Scarlet and Violet. While the open world formula and story were praised, the graphics and technical issues at launch received criticism. Nevertheless, the games were a commercial success, selling over 10 million copies in their first three days and breaking Nintendo's launch record. By the end of 2022, they had sold over 20 million copies combined, making them the fourth best-selling Pokémon games of all time, behind only Pokémon Gold and Silver, which sold 3 million copies more.
